Tacos De Pastor
Sal S.

Underneath that thick layer of queso fresco, are 4 juicy, and delicious El Pastor tacos. Each order comes with, the standard cilantro, and regular onions on top. In addition to the regular onions, you'll also get a heap full of grilled onions, on the side, and a-couple of slices of avocado. As a side order, I usually order the frijoles especial.. you'll get a cup of charro beans, with meat mixed in it (not sure if you can tell them what kind of meat, you want in it), then it's topped of with another heap full of queso fresco, and garnished with a slice or two of avocado. Then you can wash all that down with either American sodas, or Mexican sodas, or aguas frescas. This is my go place, when I crave some awesome tacos here in Browntown, ( That's Brownsville for non Valley peeps). Give them a try next time you're in town.

Solid spot. Tacos for less than $2. Both salsas are great. Would recommend for a good value spot.

Mr. Taco in Brownsville!

This place is simply brilliant! 5 star hands down. Best tacos that side of the valley (well at least Brownsville) ! I went to Mr. Taco Wednesday noon time frame. A few folks were there but it was not busy at all. This is the location right off of Boca Chica Blvd. so onward to the food. I ordered three tacos : one fajita and two pastor. I ordered it with everything so it was onions , cilantro and Mexican (white) cheese . This place gets the Rick 5 star approval because of how consistent and great the food is. Not only do they know how to make tortillas but the portions are fair and the food is great tasting . I enjoyed the tacos de trompo (pastor) the best. Use the red or green salsa! The green is my favorite and what I loved is that they even seemed to warm up the salsa ahead of time so it added that extra little touch to things. We ordered some loaded beans (forgot what they called them but it's an appetizer of beans with cheese and avocado). They are really good and hit several flavor profiles. If your in the area stop by you won't be disappointed. -Rick

Might be the best street tacos in Brownsville. Must stop here and get the Frijoles Especialses (Special Beans). These new and are ooAcked with beef, cheese, and avacado. The tacos are very filled. Had to use many napkins because they packed these tacos. Open since 1999 and still a brownsville favorite. Service was very fast. And they give you a crazy amount of limes with your order.

They give you a whole bowl of key lime!

A Hidden Gem of Authentic Mexican Flavor and Elevated Hospitality…read more If you're searching for a truly unforgettable dining experience, look no further than this incredible spot. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and enthusiasm that set the tone for an exceptional evening. Let's talk about the food: the grilled octopus was nothing short of perfection--expertly charred on the outside, tender on the inside, and paired beautifully with fresh, vibrant microgreens. Every bite was a masterclass in balance and flavor, showcasing the kind of culinary skill that can only come from recipes passed down through generations. The authentic Mexican flavors here are deeply rooted in tradition, yet elevated with a modern touch. It's clear the chef-owner has honed their craft under Michelin-starred mentors. That level of expertise comes through in every dish--from the nuanced seasoning to the thoughtful plating. And then there's the drink: La Paloma de Mi Corazón--hands down one of the most refreshing, clean-tasting cocktails I've ever had. Bartender Benito is a true artist behind the bar, blending flavors with precision and passion. He absolutely rocked that drink! The customer service was exceptional throughout. Attentive without being overbearing, every staff member made us feel genuinely cared for. It's rare to find a restaurant where both the front and back of house operate in perfect harmony. Whether you're a local foodie or just passing through, this place is a must-visit. Authentic, elevated, and unforgettable. Can't wait to come back.

The most important part is that if you ask for water you will get FIGI water because Brownsville water has contaminants that are EPA approved but in the long run not safe.
